8. Joseph Chiarodo, OF/RHP, Edwardsville
Chiarodo and the Tigers fell just short of a third straight Class 4A state title last season, losing to Providence Catholic in the championship game. Still, Chiarodo had a spectacular year, producing a 3.14 ERA and a 5-1 record while posting a .397 batting average with 15 RBIs and two home runs. The 5-11 two-way athlete will continue his baseball career with the Alabama Crimson Tide following one more campaign with the Tigers.
